Our editorial take on the Quasar Science Rainbow 2 Linear RGB LED Tube Light (8')
The Quasar Science Rainbow 2 Linear RGB LED Tube Light is an 8-foot (2.4m) tube light designed for professional use, offering extensive color control and integration options. With high CRI/TLCI ratings of 95 and a broad color temperature range of 1750 to 10,000K, it provides accurate and versatile illumination. Its multi-pixel functionality, featuring 48 individually controllable zones and integrated effects, allows for dynamic lighting setups.
Controllability is a strong suit for the Rainbow 2, supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CRMX, and wireless DMX, alongside traditional wired DMX. The light operates on both AC and DC power, making it adaptable for various production environments. Its robust construction with an aluminum and plastic housing and an IP40 dust-resistant rating suggests durability for field use.
While delivering substantial luminance with up to 1143 Lux at 1 meter, the light's 100W power consumption and passive cooling system are standard for this class of fixture. For those prioritizing precise multi-pixel control and broad connectivity in a linear form factor, the Rainbow 2 merits consideration.
